The number of craft breweries in Virginia has more than doubled since 12. Our Commonwealth now has about 115 breweries, 260 wineries, and 20 craft distilleries. We’re ecstatic about the expansion. As one of the only local Virginia sources for large metal tanks and other essential brewing equipment, we’re trilled the craft brewing trend has finally taken off in our own backyard, the Old Dominion.
